Activities i am interested in:

hello to all, I am now in Italy looking for people to conect and places to learn new skills, send me a message!

Description

I have been working for 18 years with sustainable architecture, but in 2007 I have volunteered in several communities and ecovillages around europe and I can most certainly say that it was a life changing experience. After the pandemic and the loss of loved ones I decided to leave my office life and embark on a trip to learn new skills and conect with this previous experience. My heart beats strongly whenever I live moments of deep connection with the land and people.
I love to work with crafts such as woodwork and traditional craftsmanship that will result in beaultiful and useful things. To learn things that will make me more self suficient and more in contact with traditions and nature fascinates me.

More details about your skills

Since 2004 I have been working as an architect, mainly with sustainable construction imbeding permaculture principles into my designs, sometimes giving workshops and sometimes just on the planning fase. I have worked also as a volunteer in different ecovillages and communities in organic gardens. Recently I have been aiming to learn more about woodwork and carpentry, I have been recently working with a tiny house company in Belgium. My aim is to specialize in building tiny houses and minimal dwellings such as treehouses immersed in nature, so if you want to build something like this please contact me.

What else ...

I love to be in nature and explore through hiking or biketouring, rivers and mountains and beaches while doing wild camping. I love to draw and do watercolours of the landscapes I enconter in these hikes and travels. Meditation and yoga always helps me to focus and make my day better.
